Went Ice Skating!!

Hello everyone, I just had to post and tell that my son,he is 14, and I went Ice Skating last Saturday. I have only been like twice in my life and my son had never been at all. Although he does play indoor roller hockey. He was like a natural and I hugged the wall for the first 2 or 3 rounds. I was so nervous because I didn't want to fall. I thought to myself that I didn't have the padding on the back side like I used to I guess I skated about 30 minutes and I was done. Needless to say my son did way many more laps than me!! It was very weird to skate without all the weight. It was hard to balance the new me. I did feel as if people weren't looking at how fat I was, just at how bad a skater I was. That was a good feeling to have the focus taken off of my weight. The other good thing is that I didn't fall!!! We had a great time and we will be going again. My son wants to transition from roller hockey to ice hockey. Thanks for listening!!! Becky P. 271/168.5/160

Becky that is terrific. On 11/20 I am going roller skating for the first time since surgery. I can't wait to have more confidence out on the roller rink and not be worried about falling and not being able to get up. Kim

Kim, Thanks!! You will do fine I am sure. I used to roller skate when I was a young kid. My son wants me to learn to roller blade. We will see. Let us know how much fun you have when you go. Thanks again, Becky P.
